Welcome to asylumseekersunited.org, a project started by a group of Black LGBTQ+ and gender non-conforming asylum seekers in the United States. We started this website to share the knowledge and resources we have gained through our own experiences seeking asylum, and to help others going through the same process.
As a marginalized community, we understand the unique challenges faced by Black LGBTQ+ and gender non-conforming individuals seeking asylum in the United States. Our website is a platform for us to share information on legal aid, housing assistance, and government aid available to Black people who identify as LGBTQ+ or gender non-conforming, and to provide guidance on navigating the asylum process.
Our goal is to create a safe and inclusive space where Black LGBTQ+ and gender non-conforming asylum seekers can access resources and connect with each other for support. We believe in the power of community and are committed to working together to support and uplift one another.
